Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 596 Standing at the Forefront Once Again
The journey from Hangzhou to Beijing by high-speed train takes about six hours at a speed of 250 kilometers per hour. The scenery outside the window flashes by like a movie frame by frame.

"...A drone?"

"Yes, I recently acquired a complete set of drone technology, so I'm planning to start a drone company to produce civilian and consumer-grade drones. It's absolutely high-tech and has a very promising future."

Gao Dongxu smiled and told his uncle about his plan to build drones.

The uncle looked at his nephew with deep, bright eyes. He had to admit that he was a little speechless after his nephew said, "I just got my hands on a complete set of drone technology."

The word "弄" (nòng) can evoke so many associations; my uncle is certain that this drone technology is definitely not from a legitimate source.

Are you sure there's nothing wrong with the technology behind your drones?

"That's for sure. As soon as the company is established, we can produce the first generation very quickly. If the production capacity can keep up, it won't be long before it's on the market," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

When the uncle heard Gao Dongxu's confident and certain attitude, he understood that there was no problem with Gao Dongxu's drone technology.

Tell me more about it—

“Okay—” Gao Dongxu nodded, then explained the basics of drones, and continued: “...Drones can be divided into three main categories according to their different applications: military, civilian, and consumer-grade. The performance requirements for drones also vary from one to the other.”

Military drones go without saying, but the key is civilian and consumer-grade drones.

Civilian drones generally have lower requirements for speed, ceiling, and range, but higher requirements for operator training and overall costs. Therefore, a mature industrial chain is needed to provide the cheapest possible parts and support services.

Looking ahead, the largest market for civilian drones will be in the provision of government public services, such as police, fire fighting, and meteorology, accounting for about 70% of the total demand. I believe that the market with the greatest potential for drones in the future may be in the civilian sector, with market demand also including agricultural plant protection, logistics, aerial wireless networks, and data acquisition.

As for consumer drones, the market is even broader. They generally use lower-cost multi-rotor platforms for aerial photography, gaming, and other recreational purposes.

Don't underestimate this drone company. If it succeeds, it will definitely drive cluster development in the region, demonstrating strong growth momentum and enormous industrial vitality.

After listening to Gao Dongxu's introduction and vision for the future, the uncle nodded slightly. After pondering for a moment, he looked at Gao Dongxu and smiled, "That's right. We should plan this project well first and not rush to implement it. We can talk about it after this trip to Beijing."

“Yes, I understand. Wherever you go, my investment will follow.” Gao Dongxu raised an eyebrow and smiled.

The uncle chuckled, annoyed, "If I go to the Midwest, will you come with me?"

"Hehe, of course we'll follow, but we'll definitely switch to a different project. There's no way around it; high-tech industries like drones that require industrial clusters can only be developed in coastal cities with well-developed industrial support."

Gao Dongxu chuckled and said, "I think it's definitely not going to let you go to the Midwest..."

"What do you think? Hehe..." The uncle chuckled, his eyes deep and bright as he sighed, "For me, where I go isn't important. What's important is being able to hold the line and advance further. As long as I can take that step, it's a victory!"

Gao Dongxu nodded in understanding. He knew that people like his uncle were most afraid of hitting a ceiling and not being able to rise any further, which meant they would have to retire at the appropriate time.

If you want to reach even greater heights, you must find a stronger backer and latch onto a more powerful patron.

Actually, changing patrons didn't bother my uncle much, since he had experience with changing patrons before.

The reason I hadn't considered it before was because my uncle still harbored illusions about the old man from the Evil Dragon family.

Now that Gao Dongxu has shattered his illusions and offered him a way out, changing his patron is simply a matter of going with the flow.

“Although the old rocky outcrop won’t collapse anytime soon, it has already weathered away. Take this weathered shale, for example. It’s called rock, and it looks like rock, but it crumbles at the slightest touch,” Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

The uncle smiled as he looked at Gao Dongxu, naturally understanding the meaning behind his nephew's words.

To be honest, when Gao Dongxu first said that the Euryu family was finished and asked him to cut ties, he didn't believe it and even thought Gao Dongxu's view was a bit ridiculous.

This is understandable. Gao Dongxu has a god's-eye view, but his uncle does not have the special ability to open his third eye, so he can only prove it slowly from one example after another.

"Back then, your aunt pushed me to the forefront, and I rose to prominence. Now, it's your turn to push me to the forefront again... Standing on the crest of the wave, the glory and temptations are boundless, but the risks are equally boundless."

"Hehe, I believe you will be able to handle it well and meet the new challenges of the future with a brand new look," Gao Dongxu said sincerely.

To be honest, although my uncle has his flaws, he is definitely an experienced, insightful, shrewd, steady, and thoughtful politician.

Previously, he had been hunted by evil dragons and other bad guys who catered to his desires; to put it bluntly, he had been ensnared by an invisible rope.

However, now his good nephew has appeared out of nowhere, freeing him from the ropes and eliminating the bad guys he once hunted, giving him a new life.

From now on, he won't have to worry about being targeted anymore. With such a wealthy nephew, he can focus solely on his work. To be honest, at his uncle's level, as long as he doesn't try to make money, he'll generally be fine, provided he's on the right side.

"Haha, you brat—" The uncle burst into laughter upon hearing Gao Dongxu's flattery, giving a indulgent and playful scolding. However, deep down, he was truly filled with excitement.

Especially when he got through on the reporting call and had the opportunity to report in person, his heart was already in the capital.

"Ring ring ring——"

Just then, Gao Dongxu's phone rang. He took out his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and couldn't help but raise an eyebrow slightly.

"Uncle, I'm going to answer a phone call."

"Okay, go ahead—"

As Gao Dongxu got up and walked towards the door of the private room, he answered the phone and asked, "What's wrong?"

"My little brother and I have already arrived at Misty Village with Wu Xie and Fatty Wang. However, I just discovered that in addition to my little brother and me, there are three other forces that have also arrived at Misty Village. In particular, a mysterious force wearing black cloaks and white masks ambushed another group of people."

Besides the two groups mentioned above, I also saw Wu Sansheng and Pan Zi's group...

At this moment, Ah Ning, on the other end of the phone, was on a hilltop east of a mysterious village called Misty Village in Guizhou Province. She was observing Wu Xie and Fatty Wang with military binoculars in one hand and reporting to Gao Dongxu with her mobile phone in the other.

"Hehe, it's quite lively—" Gao Dongxu couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing A Ning's report.

After Wu Xie was rescued by Zhang Qiling from the Bronze Tree, his injuries had not yet healed. Based on a map that Wang Pangzi had found and brought out, which was preserved by the Silent Rider, he rushed to Guizhou Province and found the legendary Misty Village.

"What's the environment like there?" Gao Dongxu asked with a smile.

"It's very bad. It's surrounded by mountains, covered in swamps, has an abnormal magnetic field, and contains military relics from the Republican era."

I asked around in the neighboring village before. Back when Yuan Shikai was emperor, he supposedly came to Misty Village and discovered an ancient tomb. After that, the whole village disappeared, even the chickens, ducks, pigs, dogs and other poultry they raised disappeared.

Some say they were massacred during the warlord era, others say they disappeared after entering an ancient tomb en masse…” Aning told Gao Dongxu what she had found out.

"It seems there's something extraordinary hidden there." Gao Dongxu knew what Misty Village was all about; the ancient tomb discovered by the warlord contained the so-called art of immortality.

The so-called immortality technique is actually nothing more than a corpse that takes away the characteristics of immortality. People who eat the rotting flesh of that corpse will become neither human nor ghost, lose consciousness, and kill each other.

The reason Gao Dongxu had A Ning follow Wu Xie to Misty Village was to obtain the corpse of a warlord from the Republic of China era who had eaten the immortal flesh and whose body possessed immortality, and who looked very much like Zhang Qiling.

The plot of Misty Village has been heavily modified. The corpse may have some bugs, and Gao Dongxu wants to snatch it from the Wang family and Wu Sansheng.

That's right, the mysterious force that Aning mentioned should be the Wang family.

Oh, and there were also the high-tech robots deployed by the Wang family.

. . . . . .

Made, that's right, it's a humanoid robot that can attack and carries its own bombs.

It has to be said, the screenwriter's radical adaptation is unparalleled.

"Let's continue to observe, don't go into the tomb yet. Let them fight it out first. I'll be there to meet you soon, and then we'll wipe them out in one fell swoop, hehe." Gao Dongxu said with a sinister smile.

Ah Ning, who was looking at the misty village in the ravine through her binoculars, heard Gao Dongxu's wicked laugh and couldn't help but smile. She said coquettishly, "You're the worst of all, you little bird that doesn't know the forest for the trees."

"Haha... If I weren't wicked, I wouldn't have gotten you."

"Pah—" Ah Ning's pretty face flushed slightly, and she spat lightly in annoyance, "Oh right, I forgot to tell you, Wu Sansheng has reached another deal with Qiu Dekao, but the details of the deal are unclear. However, it seems that it is very likely related to the things in this tomb."

"Hmm, don't worry about it. Let them play in the tomb for now. Whatever they get from the tomb is ours," Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

This time, upon returning to the capital, he was no longer a commoner; he had become an official. He immediately mobilized the local troops to surround Misty Village and arrested everyone, regardless of whether they were from the Wang family or the Wangwang clan.

Thinking about the scene at that time, Gao Dongxu couldn't help but grin mischievously again.
